The best package is not simply the longest one. It is the amount of story needed for the moment you want to preserve. A birthday hello, a personality-led adventure and a two-pet family episode ask for very different production scopes.
The quick comparison
| Package | Length | Scope | Production window | Included revision |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mini Cameo · $59 | 10–15 seconds | 1 cat · 1 simple scene | Within 48 hours after the complete brief and usable references are accepted | One round of minor corrections |
| Custom Story · $179 | 30–45 seconds | 1 cat · 2–3 scenes | Within 48 hours after the complete brief, usable references and character direction are approved | One consolidated revision |
| Premium Episode · from $399 | 60–90 seconds | Up to 2 pets · multi-scene scope | Within 48 hours after the complete brief, usable references, direction and scope are approved | Two consolidated revision rounds |
Choose Mini Cameo for one memorable beat
Mini works when the idea can be understood in a glance: a birthday wave, a magical reveal, a tiny heroic moment or a funny reaction. It is one cat in one simple scene, so the concept should not depend on a beginning, middle and ending.
Mini is also the best way to test the custom-movie experience at the lowest price. The limitation is intentional. Adding a second location, another pet or a completely new action changes the production scope and is quoted separately.
Choose Custom Story for a complete little narrative
Custom Story is the centre of the range because 30–45 seconds gives enough room for setup, action and payoff. Two or three scenes can show a personality trait becoming a small adventure instead of only a visual greeting.
It fits gifts, adoption anniversaries, birthdays and everyday stories built around a favourite habit. One cat remains the focus, which helps the character stay readable across the film.
Choose Premium Episode when the relationship is the story
Premium is for more space, not just more seconds. It can include up to two pets, multiple locations and a broader emotional arc. That makes it the right starting point for bonded pets, family milestones, memorial pieces and ideas where the world needs time to breathe.
For Premium, the 48-hour clock starts after the complete brief, usable references, character direction and scope are approved. This keeps a two-pet comedy and a memorial episode equally clear before production begins.
What every package has in common
All three begin with your approved direction and any references you provide. You can supply a photo, existing character or written idea, or ask the studio to create everything. Each includes music and basic sound, a private preview and a final vertical MP4. The movie stays private unless you separately approve another use.
Understand the revision before choosing
A revision corrects work inside the approved direction. It can cover a factual detail, timing, a small visual issue or another change that does not rebuild the concept. Replacing the story, adding a pet, changing the main setting or supplying a new source set after approval is new work.
Mini includes one minor correction pass. Custom Story includes one consolidated revision. Premium Episode includes two consolidated revision rounds within the approved direction. Send one organized change list for each included round.
Three questions settle most decisions
- Can the idea work as one visual moment, or does it need a beginning and ending?
- Is one cat the entire story, or is a second pet essential?
- Is the emotional value in a quick surprise or in a more layered memory?
If the answers are “one moment, one cat, quick surprise,” choose Mini. If the idea needs a complete arc for one cat, choose Custom Story. If two pets or a richer milestone are essential, begin with Premium.
